When man has been snatched, as 1t were,
from the very jaws Of death, and given new
lease of healthy life by means of simple
remedy, II is natural for him to b, enthusiastic
in his praise Of the means which delivered him
from deadly peril. Mr.. B. II. Byrd, who is the
postmaster at Lady Lake, Sumter county, Fla,
as well as a leading merchant of that place,
under date Of May 4, 1887, writes:

Referring to an article in the UnaOn
concerning the judgeship the Minneap-
oils Messenger says:
"Up to this date we have failed to
| discover any Democratic influence in
Ottawa county that is at work for a
Republican candidate. AS for the
work of the last convention, it might
be difficult to determine whether any
| other result could have been secured
by the delegates hanging on to their
respective candidates for several hum
bred ballots.
Possibly the whole mistake was
made in having 'non-partisan' con-
Yention. The effort to Withdraw the
selection of a judge from the dirty
pool of politics. resulted in precipitat-
ing upon the people about the dirtieSt
and foulest campaign they ever had.
'The nomination of a Democrat was
due to the fact that Republicans
fought each other mere vindictively
than they did the common enemy.
The addition by Davis county of an
other Democratic candidate after the
convention didn't help the decency of
the campaign by any means.
wouldn't it be better plan to let
that old non-partiSan committee take
to the woods, and have straight Re-
publican convention? The result will
be cleaner campaign than any purely
personal canvass, as the last was.
1--WE may add that we do not know
of candidate for the place from Otta-
wa county,"
The non-partisan business was be-
gun in the appointment by Governor
Osborn of Judge Austin to the vacancy
occasioned by the death of Judge Can
field. Of course Judge Austin was
nominated in his position by local in
1uence regardless of politics, and the
scramble in the district has been by
each county for the position for a
home man, also regardless of politics.
Ottawa, Dickinson and Morris, four
years ago voted four OF five hundred
ballots for their men, while Davis
dropped her man in hundred or so
ballots. The candidacy of Davis
county four years ago was not at our
instance, but was forced by Dickinson
county influences. All the dirt of that
campaign came from Democratic-Re-
publican combination in Morris.-J. @.

If the evidence of Engineer Suther-
land be true the railroad company can
not be excused from direct blame fol
disaster at ChatSwnrth. Sutherland,
who ran the engine at the head of the
train, testifes that he saw the bridge on
fire when it was too late to stop his en-
CINE, which had no air brake. His
evidence was corroborated by that OF
Rodgers, the fireman. There was an
important bridge without guard to
signal train or sufficient arrangements
for inspection to cause the discovery OF
a fire that had evidently made some
Roadway before the approach of the i'll,
fated excursionists. There should be
laws in all states compelling the EN-,
ployment of guards at every railroad
bridge.-Star.

A Public Question.

1t is suggested that some of tn
Republican Congressman from the
Northwest whose constituents have
protested against the useless and bur-
densome continuation of the war addi-
lions to the tariff, may vote with the
majority of the Democrats to reduce
the taxes.
1t would not be strange if some of
the Republicans from New England,
whose manufacturers are calling for
cheaper raw materials to enable them
to compete with foreign rivals in the
markets of the East and of Central and
South America, should vote in the
same way. Senators Hoar and Dawes
have both spoken in favor of such
action.
The prevention of the surplus by a
reduction of taxes is, a public, not a
party, question, and it should be treated
as such. In their national platforms
both parties are committed to substan-
TALLY the same line of action in re-
gard to it. In the Republican resolu-
lions it was declared that the party
pledges itself to correct the inequali-
ties of the tariff and to reduce the sur
plus" The Democratic platform was
simply more explicit and emphatic in
the same direction.
/ An men VINO love their country
more than their party, and who favor
the people instead of monopolies and
tax-eaters, should act together to stop
the surplus.-N. I. World.

The New York World says: We
have received a letter from a dis
tinguished Democratic editor at the
west submitting the following PROPOSE
ton: "Would it not be good idea to
hold a conference of anti-Cleveland
Democratic editors in New York, say
some time in September next? 1 will
cheerfully unite in signing a call for the
same, and will agree to attend and bring
others. I think such a gathering,
which can easily be made large and in
fluential, would be beneficial. Please
let me hear from you on this PROPOSE
ton"
We must decline. So far as Presi-
dent Cleveland is concerned, we would
not walk across the street to prevent
his nomination. If the privilege were
offered to us of naming the next presi-
Dental candidate of the Democratic
party we should decline the RESPONSE
bility. Our idea of the function of an
editor is that he should be entirely free
and independent to criticise politicians,
candidates and officeholders of all par
ties and all factions. He should have
nothing to do with any set Of selfish
politicians this term, next term or any
other term. And all presidents are but
politicians-only little more selfish.
more conceited and more ungrateful
than the rest.

worthy of the votes of our citizens, we
will exercise the right to condemn the
candidates and the methods used to
secure the nomination. Further, we
are no candidate for any Office and
have made no pledges except to sup
port the nominees of the Democratic
convention. Now, Mr.. Liar, if you
you have any manhood about you,
come out and acknowledge that you
have lied, or endeavOr to substantiate
what you have said. You have played
your cards many times before, and
used the same dirty cunning in differ
ent political campaigns, and you have
| as regularly got left. You always find
a few to swallow your rot, but not
enough to cut any figure or to elect men
of your ilk.

Governor Foraker and Hon. Thomas
E. Powell, opposing candidates for

Mr.. Powell in a speech said: 81

know they will stand equally as near
to the heart of the next Governor, and

The Volunteer, 18th inst, published at
Carlisle, Pa, says:"The way this country

afternoon, left a wide streak of de-
strUction, and made an impression upon
the memories of our people that life

The Chicago Tribune has taken occa-
sion to interview score of the firms
doing large business in that city, with
regard to the trade anticipations as
affected by the drouth in the North
west. The merchants had used due
diligence in acquiring information, and
the sum of the testimony was that
while the month of July had given a
better business than the same month
in 1886, there was the expectation of a
slighter trade than was expected a few
months since, but there was not pre-
parations for bad year. This may be
held as conclusive as any other report
which could now be made. The mer-
chants of Chicago are as their brethren
anywhere, and they have to deal with
large constituencies. To them the
question of agricultural products is one
of vital Importance, and they cannot
depend alone upon the statements of
those interested either as sellers or
buyers. They must know for them
selves, and under the circumstances the
evidence of the Tribune is encouraging.
